SUSTAINABILITY
GOLD MEDAL TAUNUS LAB. stands for consistent and holistic sustainability and has already been awarded the DGNB Gold certification at the planning stage. DGNB certifications are hard evidence of sustainability in construction. The TAUNUS LAB. buildings have already been awarded the preliminary DGNB Gold certification during planning and this will be converted to a full certification when the project is under construction and in operation.
The DGNB award system is based on the three central sustainability criteria, namely ecology, economy and socio-cultural aspects, which are weighted equally in the evaluation process. In terms of the holistic approach, the DGNB system also evaluates the building’s performance based on its location, technical and process quality by reference to certification criteria.
Sustainability
The use of the DGNB system contributes to the reduction of cost-intensive risks and the future security of construction projects. The independent certification process serves as a transparent quality control mechanism. The degree of quality in construction may be awarded a DGNB certification in Platinum, Gold or Silver. There is also a Bronze certification for sustainable building operations or existing buildings.
